<p>I'd been smoking for a whole year.. I had smoked dope at a party down the road thrown by the local scooter boys, we'd sussed out a way into the depot of the cider factory (having grown out of the painful and sadistic apple fights), I was eating hedgehog flavour crisps, practising breakdancing at the youthclub, jumping my bmx over ramps in the street and snogging Bernadette Atkins in the long grass..
